G4 Imacs weren't designed by satan, he outsourced after designing the
dual-USB Ibook. I much rather take apart a G4 Imac(typing on one now
that I've done a teardown/rebuild on several times) than that Ibook.
The G3s & Emacs aren't worth it and the G5's and up are fairly easy
in comparison. Hardest issue on the G4 is lining the pins up
correctly when securing the bottom.

I'm thinking about buying some broken iMacs (any model but G3) off
eBay for refurbishment. Has anybody here been in their iMac and tried
to repair it, and how easy was it? Would it be worth it?
Probably not.
G3 iMacs could probably not be sold for enough to pay for the cost
of refurbishing, G4 iMacs were designed by Satan and are well-nigh
impossible to repair, G5 iMacs are wonderful designs, but were then
*manufactured* by Satan, and Intel iMacs are difficult to work on,
yet unlikely to be available yet at prices making refurbishment
cost-effective.
